Vicious six-woman brawl erupts at the races with punches & dresses flying everywhere as one gets brutally bashed in face

THIS is the horrific moment a brutal six-woman brawl was captured on camera – with one mercilessly battering another in the head.

The women clashed on a walkway during Australia’s blockbuster Spring Racing Carnival, the highlight of which is tomorrow morning’s Melbourne Cup.

The scrap starts with a woman in a green dress running at another and barging her to floor with a knee and hand to the face.

One man immediately tries to stop the Royal Rumble-style bust-up but is only met by another four racegoers piling in.

A woman in a red dress gets involved before another brawler drags her over to some nearby railings.
